Here are some powerful reasons to start or continue eating breakfast in the morning. People who are trying to lose weight skip breakfast thinking that the calories they don t eat will reduce their overall intake. This plan actually backfires because when you starve the body of food and nutrients it actually holds onto fat burning calories much slower to conserve energy. When you skip breakfast the body stays sluggish because it s gone all night without food and you are waiting even longer to provide it with the nutrients to function optimally. After fasting all night when we are asleep food actually jumpstarts the metabolism basically kicking it into high gear so the body burns calories more effectively throughout the day.
